Good grief!! :D

I can't believe how time flies when you have entirely too much to do. LOL! Here it is, Monday morning after a holiday, and my week is totally snowballing - I'm baking all day today and tomorrow, friends arrive Wednesday, and the Christmas Open House is Sunday!!! If you're in the Middle Tennessee area, I really hope you'll stop by. It's Sunday afternoon, from 3-5 - it's a just-drop-in kind of thing. Most of our friends make it a must-do annual event now. :D COME HUNGRY. :D

OK. Today's show is from October's Scrapbooking class!

I hate my scanner, but there you go. :::sigh::: Anyway; the Real Red border does, indeed, finish off the right-hand side as well. :)

Card stock: Real Red, Whisper White

Stamp set: Christmas Punch (Level 2 hostess-only stamp set! Book your party, or place your BIG order today! :D There are some great specials....)

Accessories: Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker, large oval punch, dimensionals, paper snips, Cocoa Specialty Paper

Using a specialty DSP like this one makes pages SO easy - this is a 6"x6" layout, so I cut my 12" square into four pieces, and used the big flocked medallion as one of the pages. I think it's BEAUTIFUL! :D

OK, I'm off to finishe the batch of chocolate chip cookies I just started and walked away from. :D Have a wonderful day - and be SURE to take the time to stamp something! :D

Happy Ninth Week of Christmas!

Is time FLYING, or is it just me?!?!? With Thanksgiving this late again, it's only four short weeks until Christmas Day! I hope the emails are helping you get some great ideas!

This one is actually my mom's suggestion - and it turned out so awesome! LOL!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! I'm SO grateful for YOU!!! :)

Time to start baking for next Sunday's Christmas Open House! But I'll be taking the time to stamp something - I hope you will, too! :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!

I hope your day is blessed beyond measure! I am SO grateful for each and every one of you; thank you for allowing me to share a few moments of your life each day. You are the reason I do what I do!

Now, then. For the FIRST person who tells me what's wrong with this card, I will send a little gift. :D


:D If you want to know the recipe, leave me a comment. Otherwise, I'll leave you to enjoy my MASTERPIECE. LOL!!

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!! COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!!!!!!

Yes, it's the day before Thanksgiving...

but I'm showing you something for Christmas. SHOCK, huh. :D I promise, tomorrow is a Thanksgiving something - and a little contest for some lucky early bird! But that's tomorrow. :D

Here's today's share!

It's a tea towel that we stamped with craft inks, then heat set to make permanent! You could give this one as a gift - the tea towel as a tea towel, or use it as a basket liner. Right now, it's draped over a display like a shelp runner in the Inspiration Station! :) The tea towels are VERY inexpensive. I used the snowflake from BERRY CHRISTMAS and the "Season's Greetings" from MANY MERRY MESSAGES. The snowflakes WOULD have been one of our beautiful blues, if I'd thought ahead enough. But I didn't, so they're Chocolate Chip. :D
The words are in Real Red craft ink. After we stamped all the way around, we flipped the towel over and ironed on the back side with a hot, dry iron to set the ink. SUPER easy, great gift, and fun to do! What MORE could you ask as a day-before-Thanksgiving idea? :D

Have a WONDERFUL day! I hope you're taking time to ENJOY yourself! Are you stamping your placecards for the table? Me, either. :D It's all I can do to find a CHAIR for everyone who will be here! LOL! BE BLESSED!

Tuesday already?!?

Time is FLYING! So, straight to the show - I know you're busy, too! :D

You're right, the colors aren't exactly traditional - but I think it's a really sweet card, and our party attendees seemed to feel the same. :D

Card stock: Kraft, Whisper White, Real Red, Green Galore

Ink: Green Galore, Real Red

Stamp sets: Berry Christmas, Many Merry Messages (inside)

Accessories: Big Shot (You can say it, too! I LOVE MY BIG SHOT! :D), Petals-a-Plenty Texturz folder, dimensionals

SO easy!!! So simple, but so RIGHT. :)

OK, I'm off - more to knock off my to-do list! :D PLEASE, though, take the time to STAMP something!! :)

Happy Monday!

Greetings! I hope you had a good weekend! I did - but it seems to have FLOWN by! This is going to be a SHORT week, too, with family and Thanksgiving and my Holiday Shopping Extravaganza on Friday from 10-4; if you'd like more information or directions, please email or call me!

Now, on with the show - I've got to figure out what I want to show you this week for the TWELVE WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!!! :D

This was one of our CHRISTMAS CARD CLASS TRIO cards. Everyone just LOVES Dasher; if you haven't purchased him, or are wondering where on earth we found him, look at the last page of your Idea Book! It's a "$10 or less!" page, and he's SO worth it! His item number is 116816, if you want to order him. :)

Card stock: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Real Red

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes ("Merry Christmas"), Dasher, Many Merry Messages (inside)

Accessories: Real Red Stampin' Write Marker, Real Red Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Merry Moments DSP, Stampin' Dimensionals

Super easy, great classic Christmas card. :)

OK, I'm off! I've got five pies and a cheesecake and Chex mix and more candy and and and to do before Wednesday noon! PLUS a 12 Weeks design! Calgon, take me away....!!! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day! Don't forget to take the time to STAMP something!

Week SEVEN of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas!

I think. Or is it the eighth? LOL!

ANYWAY. This week's item uses MY DIGITAL STUDIO, but it's EASILY convertible to using stamps and ink - and I change my themes on the clock in the studio often! :D

It was a LOT of fun to do this project, and it's really cool in real life.

Enjoy the email! :) If you have questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Enjoy your weekend! Christmas is coming FAST - I hope you're looking forward to Thanksgiving with your family! :) But don't forget to take the time to STAMP something, too...!
